    I found the Yangtze, at least from our ship, to be very peaceful.: by suziqtn, Views[485]
         		 The pagoda from our ship on the Yangtze.: by suziqtn, Views[469]
         		 I just loved the beauty of this place.: by suziqtn, Views[191]
         		 Another view of the gate in the marketplace. This one was just before we crossed over to the pagoda.: by suziqtn, Views[248]
         		 Yet another view of those fantastic roofs.: by suziqtn, Views[183]
     
    This was a great view coming down.: by suziqtn, Views[190]

    Two scary creatures in the courtyard.: by suziqtn, Views[185]
         		 A view from another window. This one happens to be in the stall in the women's bathroom. When I went in, no one was waiting (shocking) and so I stopped to take this photo. I came out and there was a line of about 10 women. I felt somewhat guilty, but was glad I took this photo, anyway.: by suziqtn, Views[226]
         		 It seemed that everywhere we went, there was an amazing amount of detail. These banisters are a case in point.: by suziqtn, Views[210]
         		 Another mural in the courtyard, bas relief.: by suziqtn, Views[205]
         		 I just loved the rooflines, as you probably realize by now.: by suziqtn, Views[231]
     
    More of the same.: by suziqtn, Views[223]
         		 Depictions of other famous people.: by suziqtn, Views[204]
         		 Here is the Queen of Heaven.: by suziqtn, Views[210]
         		 There were also a variety of murals in the courtyard.: by suziqtn, Views[225]
         		 Once inside the temple, there were icons representing various warriors, emperors and empresses. This one depicts the Jade Emperor.: by suziqtn, Views[244]
     
    Here's another view of the courtyard.: by suziqtn, Views[211]
         		 This gate was the entrance going to the pagoda.: by suziqtn, Views[206]
         		 As was common throughout China, there were dragons decorating the entrance.: by suziqtn, Views[200]
         		 There were some wonderfully rendered bronze statues.: by suziqtn, Views[208]
         		 Here one can make offerings to Buddha.: by suziqtn, Views[182]
     
    When I finally got to this courtyard entrance to the temple, I was glad I'd hiked the 9 floors to reach it.: by suziqtn, Views[206]
         		 I took this from about floor 6 or 7.: by suziqtn, Views[193]
         		 The structure actually has about 12 stories, but the temple, courtyards, etc. are on the 9th floor, thank the goddess!: by suziqtn, Views[196]
         		 Just to prove I actually hiked up this thing, I took photos on my way to the top.: by suziqtn, Views[209]
         		 Here's a closer view.: by suziqtn, Views[214]
     
    I found this to be one of the most beautiful structures I saw during my trip.: by suziqtn, Views[195]
         		 This is the entrance to the 9 flights of stairs, more like ladders, to the top of the pagoda. They were made without nails -- just wooden pegs!: by suziqtn, Views[213]
         		 Just before we left to go to the pagoda, I spotted these 2 interesting sculptures.: by suziqtn, Views[216]
         		 Here is another beautiful gate into the marketplace.: by suziqtn, Views[192]
         		 On the way to the Shibaozhai pagoda and temple, we passed through this marketplace.: by suziqtn, Views[196]
     
    Not being Chinese, I found the lettering on the gates remarkable.: by suziqtn, Views[184]
         		 I couldn't believe, and neither could anyone else, that I climbed up the 9 stories to the temple here.: by suziqtn, Views[191]
         		 Not only did we have a beautiful sunrise, we had an outstanding sunset as well.: by suziqtn, Views[439]
         		 This view of the river just before sunset was ethereal.: by suziqtn, Views[450]
         		 Hello from our room steward.: by suziqtn, Views[497]
     
    As usual, we had fresh fruit in our room. The small round things are jejubes. I'd never eaten one before and found them like a small, crisp and tasty apple.: by suziqtn, Views[496]
         		 From there we got back on the Viking Emerald just before sunset.: by suziqtn, Views[487]
         		 Sue and Iona on deck.: by suziqtn, Views[207]
         		 Who knew I'd see a bridge in Tennessee orange in China?: by suziqtn, Views[217]
         		 Looking through the 2nd gorge from the sampan.: by suziqtn, Views[207]
     
    I found the buildings going up the hills very clever in terms of using all the space available.: by suziqtn, Views[193]
         		 This photo is looking down one of the gorges from our sampan. This was the only bad weather day we had in the entire trip. Luckily we were inside the boat.: by suziqtn, Views[209]
         		 Now we're going through one of the gorges.: by suziqtn, Views[202]
         		 Here is another river view with a city in the distance.: by suziqtn, Views[203]
         		 Here a small sampan floats placidly down the river. The one we took was much larger.: by suziqtn, Views[195]
